Helping Babies to Walk.

The age at which babies begin the wide
based waddle, which they believe to repre-
sent walking, varies somewhat. 1t is not an
unheard of thing for them to struggle to
the feet as early as eight months old. Nor
is it unusual to prolong the creeping stage
far beyond the twelve months age. When
a baby insists on walking before ten or
eleven months, it is a sign that it is strong
and active child. When it delays until
eighteen months, the reverse is indicated;
there is surely some weakness that prevents
it. Notwithstanding these facts it is a mis-
take to teach a child to walk. Whatever
the Darwnian theory about how we came
to assume the upright position, our children
are ''to the manner born," and will take it
as soon as nature let's Them.
One thing only is legitimate help, and
that is putting the child on the floor as soon
as possible for it to roll and kick for itself.
The floor should be thoroughly protected
from draughts, and a warm rug or puff
placed under the baby. Then give him his
fling, in company with a few rubber toys,
and it will soon be found that the rug is too
small for him. He becomes more enterpris-
ing, and manages to get off by rolling,
.'hitching'' and scrambling This sort of
exercise is perfectly natural to healthy
child, aud helps to develop the soft legs and
feet, aud 70 digest and assimilate food. Be.
sides that, the moral effect is to give the
child a sort of self-reliauce. Those who
"hold the baby" too long cheat him Of
Just so much of his little experience. Let
him scramble and wallow, regardless o.
mopping up the dust or getting grimy, or
if you cannot bear to see him dirty, make
him ''creeper" of dark stuff, to be slippet
off and on at pleasure. $, on, he reaches
up, as all growing things do, or should, ant
finds something above him to grasp; ther
pulls himself up and stands on his feet
The next stage is walking, by holding on t,
chairs, the wall, skirts of dresses and othe
intimate friends. After that, in time, h
walks. Babies come to all this as naturall
as they cry when hungry, but should neve
be forced or coaxed for the amusement o
their elders.

A Colorado Colony,

1t ID proposed to organize a colony of So
ber and industrious young men and men
lands in southern Colorado, for the purpose
of building town, planting vineyards and
orchards and establishing a contented and
prosperous community.
All who desire to join with this object in
view are invited to send their names and
residence to either of the undersigned,
stating number in family, amount of means,
profession, or trade; to the end that we may
enlist all the elements necessar, for the sue
cess Of the enterprise.
The lands we propose to settle upon are
fertile in the extreme, with climate suited
to the growth of all kinds of vegetables and
cereals, also all small and standard fruits,
including the nectarine, apricot and peach.
There will be an abundance of water for r-
rigaton, thus insuring successful soil cul-
ture.
A town will be laid out with lots for bus
iness and residence purposes, these last in
creasing in size as they recede from the bus
iness center, upon the plan adopted by the
Greedy Colony. Wide streets will be made
a special feature of the town and suitable
rese.,~ ~vations will be made for churches
schooSs, public buildings and parks.
No Sd blooms will be allowed within the
town limits or on the adjoining lands.
Temperature is the basis of contentment,
happiness, prosperity, the sure safeguard of
virtue and the shield of the weak. A strict
prohibtory clause win be inserted iu the
deeds to lots and lands in 'oEder to secure
these desired ends.
Those with some means are enlisted in
this work, as the first year OF colony life is
of necessity one in which the work of estab-
fishing the home and preparing garden, or
chard and farm lands must be done and but
little in the way of crops. save for home sub
sistence, can be counted upon.
A membership of five dollars is required,
which is to be used for the incidental ex-
penses OF organization, location of lands
etc., which will be fully accounted for to
the colony officers. As soon as sufficient
number of members is secured, active steps
will be taken to complete the organization.
1t may not be out of place to state here
that the Colorado gentleman whose name is
appended to this call and who has agreed to
JOIN this enterprise, was connected with the
settlement of the now prosperous towns of
Greeley, Fort Collins and Colorado Springs,
and has had an experience of seventeen
years in the building of towns, irrigating
anals and the development of agriculture
and fruit growing in Colorado.
1t is desirable that settlement in the new
town be made as early as possible. Write
us at once of your intention concerning this
promising enterprise.

Nearing Completion.

The new and elegantly appointed ice
cream parlors of Mr.. D. B. Jones will be
ready for occupancy about the middle of the
coming month. The old Kane Mansion has
bnen Thoroughly remodeled and the apartments
present metropolitan appearance. 1t must
have been very gratifying to Mr.. Jones to real
ize that his increasing patronage demanded
more extensive accommodations and he
was indeed fortunate in securing said
accommodations in one of the m ost de
sirabls localities in the city.
The first and second floors Of the main
building will be devoted to his patrons and
when finished aud furnished will be most
attractive. A well appointed ladies boudoit-

Postal Telegraph.

1t is proposed next Congress to introduce
measure favorable to the establishment of
a government postal telegraphy.
This is proposition which will be hailed
v ith satisfaction by the general public. Un-
fortunately for our very free economic sys
tenn it appears that public business, such as
telegraphy and the railroad cannot exist and
be carried ON for the public good. Its new
destiny is that of being corraled by monop-
oily.
This is already the deflnitive fact as re-
CARDS the telegraph system of the United
States. The latest proof of the fact is the
absorption of the Baltimore and Ohio Tele-
graph Company by the Western Union.

How 20 be Nobody.

1t is easy to be nobody, and the Watch
man tells how to do it. Go to the drinking
SALOON to spend your leisure time. You need
not drink much now, just little beer or
some other drink. In the meantime play
dominoes, checkers, or something e.se
to kill time, SO that you will be sure not to
read any useful books. If you read any
thing, let it be the dime novel of the day
Thus 60 on keeping your stomach full aud
your head empty, and yourself playing time.
killing games, and in few years you will
be first class nobody, unless you should
turn out a drunkard or professional gam
bier, either of which is worse than nobody
There are any number of young men hang
ing about saloons just ready to graduate ant
be nobodies.

Definiteness in Knowledge.

The memory will only be content hen
there is that accuracy which gives absolute
confidence. Suspicion of inaccuracy is the
most vicious element in memory. 1t is more
satisfactory not to recall thing than to re.
call it in such way as not to know what
we have recalled, whether the recollection
is reliable, where the memory of fact shades
into fancy. 1t requires the best mental ac
tivity, the closest observation, the clearest
thought, the sharpest discrimination, the
cleanest classification, to give knowledge
that definiteness which isindispensabe to re
liability in memory and accuracy in recol
